My ex “K” just broke up with me. She said she would like to still be friends, though, and since the breakup was friendly, I gladly said I was fine with that.
Me and my ex wife get along better now than we did when we were married
Im actually the kind to say when you break up move on. Still being friends is a recipe for many disasters. Especially once you’re in a long term or get married
Are you still friends with any of your axes
FTFY and yes
I still talk to my ex-wife since we had kids together. They are adults now so it’s a lot less that we talk but still amicable.
No but not due to hostility. We just don’t talk anymore the way you don’t talk to some old friends anymore, ie just drifted apart. All my breakups have luckily been amicable.
I have some exes that I wanted to and could be friends with (one I was for several years). But it just doesn’t fly with a new domestic partnership. I can tell my current girlfriend that I’m going to see female friends, but going out with friends who I’ve previously had sexual relations with is stretching it. I wouldn’t want my girlfriend to do that and so I won’t do it to her.
It makes me a bit sad, but I have effectively ended those friendships by no longer agreeing to seeing them.
I also have exes that I wouldn’t wish on my biggest enemy and I avoid them like the plague.
I posted this a while ago, but my ex and I ended up on a 7 hour time difference and that level of LDR is really hard, so our final date was updating each other’s dating profiles. It was very amicable, simply recognizing that it was the situation not the person that caused us to not be together.
not really anymore, but only for usually drifting apart from old friends reasons. it is hard (for me) to maintain friendships when the other party lives thousands of kilometers away, and everyone is too poor and busy to travel.
Depends.
Some I cultivated afterwards - gave some space, and later pitched a “I don’t want to get back together but I miss hanging out. Lemme buy coffee” to usually good effect. If you’re compatible as friends still, it could be a very strong friendship. But you broke up for a reason, so keep that in mind.
But sometimes you’re really incompatible and a simple friendship isn’t even health for you two. That’s okay too.
No, we ended for a reason. Like her being a cheating bitch. Or we just were going different places and that’s okay but I see no need to force a friendship where one doesn’t need to be.
Most of them. But as you get older, people just drift apart. Ex or not. Some stick some don’t
All of them, but i dont talk to some because it would make my life unstable yet again. I make my life unstable just fine on my own.
Its possible for two people to be in love and it still doesn’t work out.
What is dating?
What is love?
Baby don’t hurt me.
We still talk occasionally. Sometimes I think he thinks we should hook up. Sometimes I think we should hook up. But then I remember how stinky he was and gag a little bit and move on again.
Apparently one time, a guy saw us together in his apartment hallway just walking to the elevator, and later told my ex that we had a visible aura. Which is cool, I guess. But it might have just been a stink cloud from my ex.
I like to say “relationships don’t end, they change.” I’m friendly with a lot of my exes for the same reasons I was into them in the first place.
For others, the relationship changed into the kind without speaking or acknowledgement. Still pretty sure we’d be civil, if not friendly, if we got stuck in the same elevator. Probably because we all have abandonment issues and Machiavellian tendencies.
